Have it all at 2 Lascelles Avenue, Toorak.
Not one, but two acclaimed architects created this magnificent Toorak mansion that’s catching the eyes of buyers near and far.
Marcus Martin — a popular architect among the suburb’s wealthy establishment — designed the elegant home in 1935
And Stephen Akehurst injected “a superb modern influence” while retaining the abode’s “enormous amount of charm and character” by curating a renovation and extension about seven to eight years ago, Marshall White Stonnington director Andrew Hayne said.

Take a dip after a hit.
A touch of European sophistication.
This involved adding a six-car basement garage, an alfresco terrace, a pool and tennis court to the large 1163sq m landholding.
The five-bedroom house at 2 Lascelles Avenue is now on the market via an expressions of interest campaign with a $13-$14m price guide.
Despite being listed in the depths of Melbourne’s stage four COVID-19 lockdown, the impressive property racked up more than 5700 views on realestate.com.au within its first week on the market — about five times that of a typical Toorak home.
Cheeky.
A home cinema is among the highlights.
Space for the family fleet and more.
Mr Hayne said this had translated to strong early inquiry from both local buyers, and expats based in Asia and Europe.
“We’re going to do virtual inspections (via Zoom) with myself, the buyer and the vendor,” he said.
“We’ve got adaptable in this market.”
The agent expected the home’s closeness to Toorak village, prized schools and public transport to be a drawcard for buyers.
Laid-back living.
A stately facade.
Its other highlights include multiple living spaces that open out to charming gardens, a premium kitchen drenched in black granite, Carrara marble and Miele appliances, and a cosy home cinema and temperature-controlled wine cellar on the basement level.
